Count me in, if its not to late (the last 15 minutes before the day begins over here).
It's a working day for me but the weather seems to be nice so I'll bring the camera and try to find time too dokument/create something.

took a day off from work today.
when I woke up (around 6 am) it was a beautiful foggy morning, but now it's just a dull day! :(.
My new car just arrived today and it's brilliant red, so some color at least.
good work to all.
just a question: how we will upload the pictures? should a new thread be created or should we upload on this one?

May i suggest posting here? I thought i would revisit my reason for buying my lenbaby int he first place, our daughter born jan. 2010. Here playing with her toy farm, those goats always up to no good...

Shot at the coffeetable at home with Lensbaby composer, with double glass optic no apperture disk, AV -2/3 exp, shot in RAW 800 iso and converted to jpeg with photoshop (just some minor colour, WB,Saturation, vibrance,blacks correction, sharpening and noise reduction)

Thanks, and nice imgages all. It would be nice if the dear moderators would be so kind to dedicate a page to the endresult, or otherwise we'd have to start a flickr group or so and get people to resend their images. Or is it possible to turn this into a movie somehow?

Here's my contribution, I chose this subject because in Holland the 11th of November is the day of a seasonal event; 'St Maarten/St Martin's day' (for info., click: [en.wikipedia.org] ) on the evening of St. Martins day children go around their neighbourhood carrying a paper lantern, they ring the bell to their neighbours houses, when someone opens they sing a song about St. Martin and as a reward the get some candy or fruit, a bit like trick or treating on the evening of Halloween (a tradition that is not practised in Holland by the way) but without the spooky costumes.

With these pictures I tried to capture the atmosphere of the twilight (a time off the day wich I love; in between dark and light) as well as the festive atmosphere that the lanterns bring about.
I used a big apperture (f/2.5), not only because of the lack of light but also to create an extra soft and dreamy effect, I think the shuttertime that I used on these pictures was 1/125 and ISO 1600 (I'll take a look later to see if this is correct).
The pictures were taken at about 18.50 local time, I will check on the exact time later and will also see if I will want to contribute more pictures, I'm a bit tired now and wasn't really sure wich ones to pick, but really wanted to submit some pictures right away because of my enthousiasm about this project :D

I would have liked to shoot some more different pictures today since I love the concept of this project, but I simply did not get to it, I had a busy day today, I'm looking forward to see what the others have shot!
